UFO Hearing Sept 9 - Ping

For those of you interested in this subject, Reps. Luna and Burlison finally got David Grusch into a SCIF so he could talk and show them classified evidence. Luna implied that it was the President (or someone at his instruction) who arranged Grusch's classification for such informational reveal.

Here's the Sol Foundation's video interview of Luna on this matter. There's a table of contents with timestamp links at source.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Dr. Avi Loeb: Breaking UAP Hearing News and 3I/ATLAS

Aliens are demonics.

Once we look a little deeper at some plain details of the government's UFO project, we might find things that seem a little.....questionable.

This is the current official AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) logo:

The wording:

universum mutao est.

vita nostra est quod cogitationes nostra facere est.

Here is an analysis of the (intended to be Latin) phrase by a user on latin.stackexchange.com:

This a bad transcription of fake Latin made by someone who knew no Latin at all for a government website which, if I didn't know otherwise, I would have sworn was a crack group of cranks. Actually, I don't know otherwise.

They say it means "our life is what our thoughts make it.", but it means no such thing. They unfortunately used Google Translate 10 years ago, which is terrible with Latin, as we have at length discussed before.

For one, it's straight calque from English without any thought given to how Latin speakers have said it. The grammar of the first sentence (which you don't give) is incomprehensible, and there's a missing letter in mutao. (N.B. I did see a "corrected" seal with a real Latin word here [PDF link], but the misspelled word is still up on their official website.)

In the sentence you give, there's lack of agreement between the noun and its adjective (cogitationes and nosta), and then the subject and the verb (cogitationes and est). And then there's this weird infinitive which is unconnected from everything else. I suppose they're trying to say "thoughts make", but then since it's inside a relative clause, you'd need to conjugate it (faciunt) and then est becomes useless. The motto is a travesty of good Latin mottoes connected with august institutions, and, frankly, it calls into credibility the whole endeavor.

Why would the government use such (frankly) crappy and inauthentic wording on the identifying logo of an important government agency?

Things like this just have to be intentional. Which brings into focus so many other questions.
